Originally posted by inimalistcant disagree with that, but Zeitgeist isn't a factual documentary. it's to make you think.
lolthe more something is repeated, the more likely it is to be true
there is no God? still has to be proven/disproven. however you look at it.
i for one believe in a higher being. dont care much for religion.

the fact that it took a video to do that is actually quite sad.EDIT: watching the ending it just seems to be a conspiracy vid. im actually getting sick of all the yahoos who think they know everything. but seriously if you need a film to open your eyes, rather than experiences, i pity you.
I merely said that the film made me question my faith and belief in God. Not that it made me absolutely changed my mind. It just (violently) shook my belief system into wondering if it's all true or not.
Believe me my eyes have been open, maybe i just refused to see cause i didn't wanna think that God wasn't real. Or maybe not. Maybe it's something else, i dunno. I've seen all the signs in my life; things that've made me wonder if there's a God but the Zeitgeist film put things into concrete perspective the likes which ive never seen. But the bible does that too. But the film gave me some answers to questions i'v always had about God the Bible that i wanted deeply wanted answered.
I will admit; I'm now conflicted and torn more than i've ever been about this issue. And i'm one to take in anything at face value unless it's profoundly substantial.
I still believe; i grew up as a catholic with a firm belief in God but,...one can't argue with fact and evidence either.
Wow. What now..?

Isn't a punchline essentially, the joke? If I was the punchline, that would make me you, or at least, a big part of you. Now, I don't know everything, but I'm pretty sure I'm not a big part of you.

Originally posted by FistOfThe Norththe only reason that your still hanging onto your belief is(likely?) because you grew up like that. its always hard to throw away something you've believed in for a long time, but believe me your better off without religion

Goodness Gracious.I just watched the dvd, the part about religion and the Bible. It has completely perplexed my thought of the bible.
It basically shows how the Bible is nothing more than a zodialogical text taken from intricate mathematical and astrological Egyptian practice. It pointed to so much hard evidence that it couldn't be refuted.
I now question my faith and belief in God.
wow things like 12 disciples = 12 signs of the zodiac and even more. !2's all over the bible. 12 judges of Israel, 12 princes of Israel, 12 OT Prophets, Temple 12, the 12 tribes. and more. And how the story of being born on Dec. 25 born to a virgin mother, performing miracles and teaching at 30. Crucifixion, buried for 3 days and resurrected can be attributed to dozens and dozens of other figures that lived way before Jesus and how it's all only astrological and that's it..The sun is jesus and the other figures. The sun resurrects and gives life, like why do you think you see a circle on crosses. People have been told it's a Halo to disguise the fact that it's the sun really. wow How on Dec. 22,23,24, the sun stays on the same spot every day and rises up on the 3rd day for the spring equinox, giving life. How the ten commandment were taken outright from spell 125 in the Egyptian book of the dead.
And there's more too....Ive never seen anything like it. I held my mouth agape for 2 minutes after watching the thing. That religion has been used to instill fear and money extraction only from the dumbfounded masses. And there really is no jesus and god.

this dvd also talks about the federal reserve and men of power. I'm still watching it now.
I can't really address the zodiac aspect of your claim, or the one made by the film, but there's no question that the bible (like the vast majority of religious texts and ideologies) are a tool used by those in power to perpetuate a civilization's dependance on the religious and political power of those who rule. The bible, and the Torah before it, are an instrument of subjugation.
